“This is useful politics, what makes a government sensitive to the people,” defended the socialist leader in his first campaign act
The PSOE rally in Seville with the Secretary General and President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, served the Socialists to make it clear that their campaign script is to sell “management & rdquor;, claim “useful politics & rdquor; for the citizens and not to respond to the attempts of the PP, assure socialist sources, to put noise in the campaign. Nobody mentioned, neither in the subsequent groups nor of course on the stage of the meeting, the controversy of the EH Bildu lists, which has included convicted persons in its candidacies. The central mission of socialists is mobilize your voters during the campaign and the recipe with which they plan to do it is to sell management and commit ads, as Sánchez has been doing continuously in the last two monthsparty sources explained.
The Seville meeting was very important for the PSOE. Was the Pedro Sánchez’s first campaign act just landed from the United States after his meeting with President Joe Biden. The capital of Andalusia has become a political symbol. It is the main council that the socialists govern in Spain and begin to recover support in this community, after the debacle of the autonomous of last June with a resounding absolute majority of the PP, will be key to consolidating Sánchez in Moncloa in the general elections in December.
Andalusia has an electoral body of six and a half million voters and elects 61 deputies to Congress. The Andalusian community has traditionally been an electoral stronghold for the Socialists and less than a year ago they hit rock bottom at the polls. “It’s time to come back,” say party sources, convinced that the PSOE “will win the municipal elections on May 28 in Andalusiawill maintain its main governments and will mark the path of recovery” of the socialists in the community.
mobilize the electorate
The act in the Seville capital, at the moment there is no other planned with Pedro Sánchez during the campaign although the agenda may vary, welcomed some 2,800 people at the FIBES Palace of Exhibitions and Congresses, according to sources from the socialist organization. The PSOE leader was accompanied on stage by the mayoress of Alcalá de Guadaira, Ana Isabel Jimenezby the mayor of La Rinconada and general secretary of the PSOE of Seville, Javier Fernandezby the leader of the Andalusian PSOE, John Swordsand by the Sevillian mayor and socialist candidate Antonio Munoz. Among the public three ministers: Pilar Alegría, Pilar Llop and María Jesús Montero.“This is useful politics, what makes a government sensitive to the people & rdquor;, defended the leader of the PSOE. Sánchez brought a new ad in his portfolio, the right to be forgotten oncology as of June with the urgent reform of a decree to guarantee that cancer survivors will not have obstacles to sign mortgages or private insurance. The Executive announced it shortly before the meeting, after a meeting at the Government Delegation in Andalusia de Sánchez with cancer associations. The PSOE general secretary vindicated him again on the tables of the Seville Exhibition Palace, where he puffed up his chest for all the announcements and commitments of his Government with the city of Seville. “(Alberto Nunez) Feijóo is going to end up asking for the vote for the PSOEyou’ll see”, ironized Sánchez, alluding to the lapses or errors of the PP leader in his rallies, which placed Badajoz in Andalusia days ago.
The irruption of Bildu
Unexpectedly, the EH Bildu lists —with 44 convicted for their relationship with ETA, some with blood crimes— have monopolized the first hours of the campaign, giving an unexpected asset to the parties of the right and generating a discomfort that was not foreseen for the Government either, which sees its plans disrupted. The PP takes advantage of this trick so that regional and municipal elections have an even greater national focus, after the main opposition party has wanted to turn these municipal and regional elections on May 28 into a motion of no confidence in the nation’s Government. President Pedro Sánchez referred to this matter from Washington, to where he was pursued by the controversy in his meeting with the US president. The PP reproaches the PSOE for its alliance with the Aberzale coalition, which has given it support in the Congress to a large part of the reforms approved by the central government. “There are things that can be legal, but not decent. This is one of them,” said Sánchez.
From the PSOE they did not want to enter more into this matter. “When they don’t have arguments they always resort to the same thing, we to vindicate the management what we do for the citizens & rdquor ;, defended party sources, who make it clear that “to none & rdquor; They like what has happened with the Aberzale formation but are convinced that this is not what people want to hear. “We are not going out to respond to anyone, we are going with our management and defending useful politics & rdquor;, assured socialist sources, who believe that “they feed each other & rdquor; and claiming that the PP must tell “what they want to do with Spain & rdquor ;. The socialist thesis is that the right has already mobilized all its vote from a long time ago, because “mobilize the contras& rdquor; it is easier and that the campaign will serve the PSOE to convince left-wing voters to go to the polls on May 28. That is what they are at stake, the mobilization of their voters, and for that they insist that they are not going to let no one diverts them from the script of their campaign and to defend proposals that convince people to vote.
The vote of the field
“The name of the city of Seville appeared in the meeting with Biden,” said the PSOE general secretary, who assured that he spoke with the US president about “strengthening the agreement from NASA to the new Space Agency located in Seville.” Among the announcements that the president brought at the rally is the 20 million euros that the Treasury will release in June to build line 3 of the metro. Sánchez puffed up his chest for the list of infrastructures that the Government has unblocked in the last year with the socialist Antonio Muñoz as mayor, with the railway connection airport and train station of Santa Justa and the ring road SE-40, as entrees next to the subway. Sánchez announced the construction of 2,500 homes on Defense land in the province of Seville.
Antonio Muñoz, candidate in Seville, defined himself as “a mayor with ideas and ideology& rdquor ;. “People who do not have ideas stay in theory and people who say they do not have an ideology are not to be trusted,” warned the Seville councilor, who called “people disenchanted with politics, to those who believe that this does not go with them & rdquor; to go vote because “Seville does not deserve a blackout & rdquor ;.
The mayoress of Alcalá de Guadaira assured that “it smells like a socialist victory on May 28, a resounding victory& rdquor; and the mayor of La Rinconada assured that in these elections “three in one & rdquor ;. On the one hand, the mayors, “who deserve their own debate & rdquor;, but on the other “be prepared & rdquor; to make Sánchez president of the Government again in December and then recover the Board. “Seville is the heart of the PSOE of Andalusia and the PSOE of Spain has no soul without the PSOE of Seville, because we are the biggest and we assume our responsibility. We are going to be at the top & rdquor ;, assured the also general secretary of the Sevillian socialists.
Juan Espadas claimed the extraordinary drought decree approved by the Government with 2,000 million at a time when the vote of the countryside and the primary sector could be definitive in the campaign, with a clear crusade of the PP to do with the support of the rural environment. swords claimed Seville as “the cathedral& rdquor; of socialism and assured that it will be the province with the most socialist mayors.
